LAYOUT

The science fair is laid out by grade level.  The label in the upper right corner of each project’s display board indicates the grade level and the entry number in that grade.  For example, project number 0802 indicates an eighth grade project and the second project registered in that grade.

 

EXHIBITORS

This year’s science fair has twenty-nine exhibitors (fifteen boys and fourteen girls) from fifteen families from nine communities in two Michigan counties (Lenawee and Monroe) and three Ohio counties (Lucas, Sandusky, and Wood). 

 

BOOTHS

The following organizations have booths at W.I.S.E. 2002—The Nature Conservancy, Nature’s Nursery, Toledo Metroparks, Toledo Public Library, and WGTE.

 

COMMEMORATIVE T-SHIRTS

The T-shirts show the name (Wonders of the Imagination Science Exhibition) and the slogan (“In science… the WISE ask the WHYs") of the science fair on a field of question marks, along with W.I.S.E. 2002 and the logo (an owl incorporating the letters W, I, S, and E).
